BYJU’S will soon fire as many as 1,000 employees to cut costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move will go ahead despite it hurting the sales and marketing teams the most which was valued at $22 billion in its last funding round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development comes close on the heels of the company skipping a quarterly interest payment of about $40 million earlier this week on a $1.2-billion term loan B (TLB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filing suit in NYSC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BYJU’S filed a suit against investment management firm Redwood to challenge the acceleration of a $1.2 billion term loan B facility and disqualify the lender for its “predatory tactics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It filed the suit in the New York Supreme Court saying Redwood purchased a significant portion of the loan while primarily trading in distressed debt, which was contrary to the conditions of the term loan facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predatory tactics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also issued a notice to Redwood entities disqualifying the investment firm as a lender with critical rights under the term loan norms once it takes effect, the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We had <\/a>to take these measures following a series of predatory tactics by the lenders, led by Redwood,” the startup said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October 2022, BYJU’s said it will axe 2,500 employees by March 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
